    The economy is so bad,

    I saw the CEO of Wal-Mart shopping at Wal-Mart.
    the highest-paying job in town is jury duty.
    I saw a polygamist with only one wife.
    the Lone Ranger sold his silver bullets on Ebay.
    do I look like I know what I'm doing?

    Yeah, yeah. It's all the Democrats' fault. If the Republicans were still in power, we'd all be driving platinum cars to our beach houses.

    Indeed. "Predictable". And comfortable.

    And next spring -- when what's left of the US economy completes its journey from the bowl to the septic tank due to the forthcoming collapse of the commercial real estate market, taking tens of thousands more US jobs with it -- I'll remain predictable.

    ......And "comfortable".

    You know, I come here to talk guitars, not get third-grade reductionist economics and the highlights of the Glen Beck show.

    A novel concept, I know.

    Just because the rest of the world (on both sides) is a bunch of trash talking hypocrites, doesn't mean TFF has to stoop to that level.

    Peace, dudes. Let's wait until spring and see. We all want the economy to improve.

    The economy's so bad, the media is trying to polarize us.

    You spelled 'Glen Beck' incorrectly.


    It's spelled "A-S-S-H-O-L-E."



    Tone is in the fingers, eh? Let's hear your Vox, Marshall and Fender fingerings then...
